Back in May of 2011, the first stories about project Gunrunner and Fast and Furious started leaking into the blogosphere. American guns were used by Mexican drug gangs to kill a US agent and US made guns were turning up at other crime scenes involving Mexican Drug traffickers. But the story at the time was not the narrative the left was looking for. It was about whistle-blowers inside ATF claiming that ATF and other agencies were selling those guns to the drug dealers and letting them walk into Mexico. In May of 2011 I said this...
Being who they are, (Democrats) would demand that they short-stroke this ‘discovery” into expanding gun control legislation, and I’m not convinced that this was not a convenient side effect if not the entire point of the program.
And it turns out I was right. I wasn’t being paranoid I was prescient.
